The ward centred on Raunds sits in the gently rolling countryside of North Northamptonshire in England. It has medieval roots visible around the market square and the parish church of St Peter and St Paul, and lies close to the recreational wetlands of Stanwick Lakes, which offer a contrast to the area’s former gravel workings and agricultural landscape.
Historically important for boot and shoe making, the local economy has diversified into light industry, distribution and a sizeable commuter population travelling to Northampton, Peterborough and beyond. Despite modern growth the ward retains an active community life - sports clubs, seasonal events, pubs and a conservation area helping to protect its older streets and character.
